[Candaian Christianity] 19 Apr 2007--Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the worldwide Anglican communion, made his first visit to Canada this week.

He accepted an honorary degree from Wycliffe and Trinity Colleges, and he led a one-day retreat for the House of Bishops, the leaders of the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC).

But most of the attention his visit received was focused on the disagreement within the Church over the issue of homosexuality and the blessing of same-sex unions, which, Williams told an April 16 news conference, "has been getting much more deep and bitter and [is] threatening to divide us."
